Fixes blueman. \\ Thanks to marav for the bug report. ====== Fri Dec 25 00:52:08 UTC 2020 ====== > Here are some updates to provide a little holiday cheer. The kernels are \\ rebuilt (yeah, we'll probably have new ones tomorrow but whatever) to build in \\ HWMON making NVMe temperature monitoring available, and there's also a massive \\ cleanup of polkit/dbus related packages to move most of the config files out \\ of /etc and not install them as .new. Local config files that override the \\ shipped ones may be placed in the directories in /etc to override the ones that \\ we ship. Thanks to Robby Workman for this! \\ None of the packages included in Slackware place any files in \\ /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ or /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ any more, but there may be \\ third-party packages that still do. However, since Slackware's packages \\ originally installed these as .new files, the leftover configs will remain. \\ You'll probably want to take a look in those directories to clean out any \\ config files that you haven't modified yourself or that belong to packages that \\ aren't part of Slackware itself. \\ Hope everyone has a great day. :-) ===== Packages ===== ==== Rebuilt ==== * [[slackware.current>a/dbus-1.12.20-i586-3.txz]] \\ Added local config override directory /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ since no other \\ package provides it now. * [[slackware.current>a/udisks-1.0.5-i586-6.txz]] \\ Move D-Bus configs from /etc to the system location.
